Promotion

In recent years, Hui has been committed to promoting Qinqiang Opera art. During past years, she has given lectures in universities, vocational and art schools, and primary and middle schools, across the country, to promote Qinqiang Opera art. She has also participated in cultural exchanges in other countries, including Japan, Malaysia and Australia, to promote the charm of Qinqiang Opera.

On May 19, 2023, Peng Liyuan, wife of Chinese President Xi Jinping, invited the first ladies of Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan to visit Yisushe Theater, in Xi'an. The guests, Aigul Japarova, wife of Kyrgyz President Sadyr Japarov, and Ziroat Mirziyoyeva, wife of Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, were in Xi'an for the China-Central Asia Summit. At the theater, Peng and her guests watched a classical Qinqiang performance, given by Hui and other performers. Peng and her guests applauded for that performance.

In May 2024, Hui, with the China Theatre Association, was invited to visit Tbilisi, capital of Georgia, to participate in the Fourth Tbilisi Children Youth International Theatre Festival. During the festival, Hui gave a lecture on Chinese opera to local teenagers, during which the teenagers experienced Chinese opera with performers. The two-hour lecture highlighted the charm of Chinese opera, and it was praised by attendants.
